Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 3-1
Wolfsburg
Buoyed by a 4-1 win over Freiburg, Leipzig will be aiming to stay in the Champions League berth when they welcome Wolfsburg to their Red Bull Arena on Saturday. The attacking partnership of Lois Openda and Benjamin Sesko was in a perfect working order in the triumph over Freiburg and we predict that the duo will prove a handful for Wolfsburg defenders as well. Defender David Raum is sidelined through suspension, while forward Yussuf Poulsen remains in the recovery room.
The Wolves, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 loss to Borussia M’gladbach and given the importance of Saturday’s clash for the Champions-League-chasing hosts, home win should be considered. Maxence Lacroix has yet to serve his ban, but fellow defender Cedric Zesiger is back from suspension. In the first half of the season Wolfsburg defeated Leipzig 2-1 at Volkswagen Arena, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
Highlighted Player (Dani Olmo):
After starting his youth career at Espanyol, Dani Olmo moved to fellow Catalan side Barcelona in 2007 at the age of nine. The Spanish player born in Terrasa on May 7, 1998 then moved to Dinamo Zagreb, where he established himself as a first-team regular.
Dani Olmo was on the verge of leaving the Croatian club in the summer of 2019, but he eventually stayed at Stadion Maksimir. Olmo is one of the most talented footballers in Spain and he helped the U21 team clinch the Euro 2019 trophy. La Furia Roja defeated Germany in the final of the tournament, with Olmo being named Man of the match.
The Spanish attacking midfielder, who is used as a winger as well, was named the Croatian First Football League player of the year for 2018. His preferred foot is right and he has a contract with Dinamo Zagreb until June 30, 2021.
Highlighted Team (Wolfsburg):
Wolfsburg are a German football club founded in the aftermath of the World War II (1945). Die Wolfe (The Wolves) wear green and white shirts and they play their home games at Volkswagen Arena. The capacity of the stadium is 30,000 and it was opened on 13 December, 2002.
It is well known that German car manufacturer Volkswagen are the club’s main sponsors. Wolfsburg won the Bundesliga trophy in 2009 and the likes of Edin Dzeko, Grafite and Zvjezdan Misimovic were part of the club’s golden generation.
You should bear in mind that Grafite and Dzeko scored 54 goals between each other in the 2008/2009 Bundesliga campaign and that the team clinched the trophy thanks to a 5-1 win over Werder Bremen on 23 May, 2009. Die Wolfe won the German Cup trophy in 2015, with the team beating star-studded Borussia Dortmund 3-1 in the title game. Wolfsburg are a team that has no bitter rivals in German football.
